    Overall it's a nice hostel with aesthetic architecture and in strategic location (only 8 - 12 minutes walk from Taichung Main Station). Besides, the room, toilet, shower room, lobby are clean and there's a convenience store in front of the hostel. It has a perfect pantry with even an electric stove, fridge and more. The service is quite nice also, we can put our baggage first before the check in time.

    One good night”

    I stayed at Backpacker 41 in Taichung for one night in Feb 2018, in a dorm. All in all it was good. Not exceptional, but decent nonetheless. Reasonable price, comfy, good location. Room was a little noisy, mainly due to the humidifier, but little street noise. Separate floor-level shower cubicles and toilets, never had to queue. It's a big hostel, four floors of rooms, I'd guess about 100 beds total. I'd stay again.

    Here is close to Taichung station about 10minutes on foot. Also the famous spot "Miyahara" is near here. Staff can speak Chinese,English and Japanese fluently. The guest house mates were so noisy and there were many night persons so I could not sleep well but here was good guest house. They do not prepare towels and tooth brush so you have to bring it. I recomend here for backpackers.

    Good value for money”

    I only stayed here for one night but I will definitely stay again the next time that I visit Taichung. It has a very good location, close to the railway and bus stations, but it's a little tricky to find due to the sign being on the small side and blending in with the ones around it. Staff was helpful, and the rooms were nice and clean. The lack of some kind of screen/curtain around the bunks were very inconvenient though, if you want to stay up and read or sleep before the other occupants it's not possible to do so. The light showing the door's location also kept me up during the night because of that so I recommend bringing a sleep mask if you're sensitive to light. Showers are decently a sized stall but it's a little tricky maneuvering your towel and change of clothes without getting them wet. Overall though I highly recommend this hostel.

    Room is clean, and the hostel is cheap and near Taichung station. The only pity is that person slippers are not provided for the guests.

    Pretty much enjoyed my stayed at this hostel. The facilities was good and thanks to the friendly staff who recommended me some places to explore around the city. Would definitely recommend my friends to stay when they visited TaiChung next time!
